in recent times, a manmade disaster. the terrorist attack where we saw trading disrupted by upwards of a week. back in business tomorrow. could be a very bumpy ride. we'll cover the first part of it tonight with the futures. the actual stuff tomorrow mor morning. >> eric: this is a fox news alert. hurricane sandy level everything in her path. started at the new jersey line. next path is cleveland. we'll get in front of her in a minute, but first to janice dean and the extreme weather center for what is happening now. this is a broad system but we are seeing all sort of effect. high wind and surge as well in the northeast. snow continues to fly in the numbers of feet if you can

believe it. this is like ocean effect snow off the atlantic forming across the-year of ohio valley. blizzard warning in effect for west virginia and kentucky. there is cleveland. we have wind advisories along the great lakes where we see wind gust in excess of 60 to 70 miles per hour. waves 20 to 30 feet. so this storm is affecting 24 states. amazing, right? much of half the country. there is your wind gust. i want to show you, we have what is left of sandy. then we have high pressure across the south. pressure gradient between the system is going to bring wind gusts. in some cases 30, 40, 50 miles per hour for a good part of the country in to thursday. so we're still going to be dealing with the effects of this storm in thursday and especially to friday. and the snow, i mean can you believe this? in the higher elevations of maryland, west virginia, two feet of snow on top of that.

we could see 12 to 18 more inches. this is widespread. with so many effects. there is the future radar heading to wednesday. even though the low pressure system that was sandy moves to canada. not done with the storm yet. there are the winter storm advisories. can you believe this? blizzard advisories stretching down to the appalachians. southern appalachians. we'll continue to monitor sandy or what's left of sandy in the form of a winter storm. eric? >> eric: thank you, janice. let's go to cleveland, ohio, now, with gabe spiegel of wjw on the bank of lake erie where sandy is patching a huge punch. >> look at the powers here along the shore of angry lake erie. you see that is interstate 90 heading westbound. just reopened. it's been closed most of the day, because of the raw power of the waves.

blasting on the roadway. sending small rocks and causing havoc for drivers. you can see the power here. this is a boulder that weighs a good 200 to 300 pounds. can't move that one. this one, i got that one covered. police cordoned off the entire area because of the gawkers and onlookers. there was a guy here parked yesterday who had a camaro smashed by one of the rocks. feel bad for that guy. as far as the power outages along the lake, 250,000 people remain without power and the local power company telling us it might be this weekend at the earliest. when we get the juice turned back on. that's the latest along the shores of lake erie. i'm gabe spiegel. eric, back to you. >> eric: thank you, gabe. so let's throw stats out here. we have just been updated. a.p. telling us at least 40 died because of the hurricane sandy or storm sandy. in ohio, literally, feet of snow being dropped. red house, maryland, 26 inches. west virginia, if inches.

it goes on and on. but the point is, kimberly, this thing is nowhere near being finished with the havoc. >> kimberly: it isn't. we're getting updates, you know, every ten minutes what about is going on. different developments. havoc, devastation. in queens, we found one area. 80 homes destroyed. 40 dead so far. the numbers keep mounting up in terms of the economic crisis and fall-out from this. it's significant. so many people displaced without homes. >> eric: shoiz in the path. a lot of people are expecting hurricane sandy, or storm sandy. will it affect early voting, voting, will it affect the election? >> dana: bob, you want to jump in? >> bob: next block. i want to talk about that. >> eric: i want to talk about the storm on the election. >> bob: on that one, there are 8 million people without power. but more importantly, these states that are affected, have electronic voting. a lot of them have electronic voting. if they don't have the power

back and on by tuesday, how do you deny people the right the vote? maybe give them paper ballot. >> dana: probably a backup plan or something. one thing about not having power for that long, if you are elderly or have an elderly neighbor, after the second day, third, day, fourth day, it's a huge problem for them. check in on them if you can't. if you're the parent of young children, trying to keep them occupied because the schools are closed. you also don't want to send them outside because of falling branchs or other type of problems. the first couple of days, fun, there is the storm and excitement, pain in rear. but by saturday if they still don't have power people start to get angry. >> kimberly: i'm seeking play dates for tomorrow for ronin. school is closed-up in thursday. >> eric: schools are closed. >> greg: i love how dana asked like she cares. last night she cheated at kurplunk. >> dana: how do you cheat at that? >> greg: you made your own sticks! anyway, i look for something

positive with this. the real winner here in all of this is lydia callis. >> dana: love her. >> greg: the sign language interpreter for mayor bloomberg. so when mayor bloomberg comes out to speak, there she is. we highlighted her there. she is absolutely hypnotic. the facial expressions alone are worth the price of admission. she is so good at this, she actually makes it impossible to hear mayor bloomberg. his words fall on deaf ears, because she is so compelling. everything. i could look at that for hours. no idea what she is saying. >> kimberly: you did last night, actually. >> greg: i did. >> dana: i was mesmerized by her, too. i could hear what he said but i focus on her because she was so good. i learned just to say to her great job. >> kimberly: nice! g that means jaspe >> bob: people deserve credit here. first, the first responders.

24 hour, doing their job remarkably well. i have to say this. if you work in television business, production operations in this station, and this channel, to get out and many places that they did and up and down the east coast, did a remarkable job taking care of us, did a remarkable job. you deserve a lot of credit. >> dana: you see the on-air talent that was great. our camera work at fox news was excellent. i watched it last night. >> kimberly: in harm's way. >> eric: a lot of people stayed in the city and gave up time with their families to make sure you got the latest. >> greg: is that is why the storm is perceived bigger than a lot of storms that killed more people? it's immediate center -- media center? it affects the media. there are storms in past there are more devastating than this is. but they didn't hit new york. >> bob: the economic impact could be billions of dollars. >> kimberly: because of the area covered. >> bob: quarter of the united states. >> eric: $25 to $50 billion. we don't know all the damage

yet. but $25 billion to $50 billion to be on par for fourth or fifth most devastating hurricane. >> greg: what benefits is the banana republic because that's where reporter goes to buy rain gear. >> dana: what happens to halloween? candy goes on sale tomorrow. >> eric: chris christie was entertaining delaying halloween. listen to him earlier today. look at the stress on this man's face. >> the level of devastation at the jersey shore is unthinkable. we know that there are many people who own homes who evacuated, who are going to want to get back on to the island to assess the damage to their homes. we are nowhere near able to let you back on to the island. >> eric: as a new jersey -- i live in new jersey. i'm glad i have that man as my governor. >> kimberly: he is fantastic. he looks presidential. fortunate to have him and his response. this is one of the reason people love governor christie.

he calls it as he sees it. he is one that will criticize if he thinks someone not doing the job right but quick to praise and he did praise the president for being accessible. >> bob: i want to add here that our brother eric bolling has a house on one of the islands. probably not there right now. i feel for you, brother. >> eric: who knows? take a look at the roller coaster. this is where the jersey shore, you know, that show that goes on mtv. this is where it's filmed. take a look at that. the roller coaster in the water right now. >> dana: so it's a water coaster. >> bob: a big chunk of -- >> eric: the atlantic city boardwalk in the water as well. >> eric: this is very important. the neighborhood in queens, new york, look at some of the destruction that went on there from a fire. not sure how it started. >> kimberly: terrible. because of the flooding. they couldn't even get in to treat this. apparently some of the firefighters even live in that

area. they're not especiall even ablet in and save the neighbors. >> dana: i heard it was started when transformers were exploding. last night, i thought we were watching lightning, around the time the storm came in. what i had seen was the transformers blow up. >> eric: does it make sense to put electrical transformers in the substation down below where the water is going to come? >> greg: you are asking somebody who cannot change a tire. if you could have -- i don't know what you -- >> kimberly: you can't even pump gas. c'mon! >> greg: i am the most useless person in times like these. i have no technical, i have no ability -- >> kimberly: you panic. >> greg: and i panic. >> bob: they close down part of the nuclear power plant in new york as safety precaution. >> eric: very good. leave it there. come up, epic superstorm sandy put both presidential campaigns on hold, but as the storm moves on, how are the candidates handling it? that is next. dana is up next.

aside, as the east coast breaks for impact and both campaigns will be treading lightly as they get back to campaign mode. today was all about the storm. this afternoon, president obama visited the red cross, national headquarters and mitt romney -- let's go to obama first. listen to him. >> we certainly feel profoundly for all the families whose lives have been up-ended. and are going to be going through some very tough times over the next several days. and perhaps several weeks and months. the most important message i have for them is that america is with you. we are standing behind you. we are going to do everything we can. to help you get back on your feet. >> dana: mitt romney attended a storm release event in ohio. listen to him. >> we have heavy hearts as you know, with the suffering going on and major part of our country. a lot of people hurting this morning. they were hurting last night. the storm goes on. i have had a chance to speak with some of the governors and the effected areas and they

have talked about a lot of people having hard times. i appreciate the fact that people here in dayton got up this morning, some went to the grocery store, i see and purchased things that knows families will need. and -- things that these families will need. i appreciate your generosity. >> dana: times like these, people set politics aside. that's a smart thing, because i'm not running the new york marathon this weekend but i know people who train, they taper off in their running toward the end so they can be rested up and ready to go. i think in some ways america needed to taper off from the negative attacks that both candidates were doing toward one another. in the storm, right to set it aside. >> kimberly: this has been a serious reality check for everybody about what matters in life and makes the pettyest in and mean spirited nature for the negative campaigns stand out. you have don't want to be associated with this. >> greg: boo. i disagree. boo! i hate the cliche that everybody comes together in a time of crisis. >> kimberly: is that not

what we're doing? what is wrong with you? >> greg: i try to balance it out. there are so many people playing politics with this right now, the idea it's not happening is baloney. mitt was out there getting supplies he was asked 14 times whether he would survey the damage or not. would a reporter even ask obama three times about benghazi? i mean, they are asking -- the reporters are trying to capture romney making a mistake. while giving obama a free event said there was a 40% chance mitt would say something stupid. the only back track when he was caught saying it on a hot mic. so in my view there is a 99% chance that the media hoping romney will screw it up. in order to save obama's election. this little break here, in the storm, is helping obama, the media is helping obama. >> bob: i think that is a little bit unfair. obama has done a good job -- chris christie was full praise for president obama last night. romney did the right thing. romney campaign agreed to not

attack the president in the next couple of days, which is very smart politics, if you will, but it's the right thing to do. >> kimberly: he's a gentleman. >> bob: and they both called off the campaign events which is the right thing to do in the effected areas. so far, the politics, i say obviously it benefits to the president. but romney has inserted himself -- >> eric: can i interrupt? this is absolutely going to benefit mitt romney, because romney was on, he was getting the momentum. he had the gallup poll increasing in his favor and still is. what this did, what the storm did is put evening on hold. froze everything in place. he gets the bigger momentum. importantly, the female vote. the women vote was going, he closed that gap completely. now there is a freeze. bam become can't go -- obama can't go negative and romney can't go negative. if president obama starts showing up at these various places too often, people will say he is pandering. political pandering because these are the state issues.

not federal issues. sign the check. that is the only thing. >> bob: brought in by the governors to look at these. >> greg: i heard when he takes the podium later today he will blame the hurricane on the movie "twister" and blame the flooding on "water world" and the fire on "back draft." when he finds throughout is no electricity, he will blame it on "wall-e." >> bob: who does he blame the video on? >> greg: we don't know. who pushed the video. >> bob: are you going to volunteer anyplace? setting up -- >> greg: the best way to volunteer is stay out of people's way. if i try to help somebody or something, it gets worse. >> kimberly: honey, he can't dress himself. >> greg: true. >> dana: one other part of this, obama, rya obama are off o the sideline. but -- obama and romney are off to sideline. but not the surrogates. bill clinton was sent to minnesota which had been a safe obama state, recently moved to a lean obama state. so they're having to shore up

in minnesota and pennsylvania. where romney has put additional resources in, because last week he said bob, watch where the money goes. that's where the money is going from both campaigns, does it mean they're more up for grabs? >> bob: romney spread out the electoral map no question about it. if obama were to lose minnesota, it would be a landslide for romney. they have to send him in to shore things up. he will get to colorado where he needs to be. what romney, though, is missing here is a lot of campaign events in ohio, which he desperately needs. >> dana: that's where he was today. >> bob: but he was doing fundraising there. which is fine. but he needs to do the rallies and other things. anytime you freeze something, it doesn't actually mean you come back to where it was when you froze it. >> eric: no, but it doesn't mean the momentum changes back. face it, president obama has had the best success at changing the polling. when he goes negative. when his negative ads about romney for bain capital. >> kimberly: that's when he was ahead. >> eric: he was a murderer. that's when he gets movem.

he can't do that now. you have can't go negative now. >> bob: are you suggesting that romney hasn't attacked obama negatively? one thing we should point out today the independent committee for both sides went over billion in spending. that means you have $3 billion spent on the presidential race. unbelievable. >> kimberly: it is unbelievable. where is it getting them in the end? >> dana: the npr poll that came out today has the two candidates at 49/48. the interesting thing about the poll, i thought, bob, i don't know if you had a chance to look at it there with auz an eight-point swing for romney in the poll from npr. >> kimberly: the important point is obama is losing ground since the piv the first debate where people got a chance to see who romney is and what he stands for. that is true. >> bob: made progress but it's been frozen. >> dana: he is lucky he has good governors in place. >> greg: the real question is will the media use a natural disaster to prevent a political one? >> dana: great point. >> kimberly: i believe you said that and the answer is yes. >> greg: i try to sum things

up. >> dana: you're next. coming up, newspaper endorsements, covered by presidential campaigns. and a lot of president obama supporters in 2008, are now supporting governor romney. greg has that list when we come right back. ♪ chances are, you're not made of money, so don't overpay for motorcycle insurance. geico, see how much you could save.
